GNOME Gets A Log Viewer For Systemd's Journal

Phoronix: GNOME Gets A Log Viewer For Systemd's Journal

There's a new GNOME application that experienced its first release this morning: GNOME Logs. While there's a lot of work left on the project, GNOME Logs is to serve as a centralized log viewer for the systemd journal on the GNOME desktop...

Did you actually check this, or did you just assume your silly troll was at least _technically_ accurate?

Most C code, especially high level GUI apps, doesn't specify a particular C library. So far as I can make out, neither systemd nor GNOME nor anything else mentioned in this article has a specific requirement for the glibc C library.

It's amazing how predictable Honton is! The only thing I guessed wrong on is that he would spout his bullshit on the Pitivi article.

Related to the article: Good for GNOME I've just recently started using a distro with SystemD (Linux Mint uses Upstart... ) so the journals and stuff is foreign to me. Having a GUI would probably ease the transition by a lot.

You are forgiven. Still I find it pretty funny you decided to troll this thread to pieces. No one mentioned anything about CLA until you decided it was time to show the world you can't tell the difference between Commercial CLA and FSF CA.

Note that above wiki mentions: With the Release Team and Board of Directors carefully applying these criteria, the GNOME Foundation hopes to keep the GNOME project unencumbered by control structures that do not align with the spirit of the GNOME community. and that I am on the GNOME release team.

Now glibc using CLA or CA also has nothing to do with GNOME. We're not a deritative.

so the journals and stuff is foreign to me. Having a GUI would probably ease the transition by a lot.

Journal is really cool because a lot of things are indexed. If you check the design for this Logs application, you'll see that the idea is that the journal would distinguish between the various applications and log their output. Meaning: no need to ask people to run some command in the terminal or look at stuff like ~/.cache/gdm/session.log (lately if not using journal) or ~/.xsession-errors (older), etc. Everything would be captured by default

Note: journal lately is a bit slow on my install, so that must be fixed. It used to be ok, guess some kind of regression.
